Just in time for spooky season comes the announcement of a new species of ‘ghost shark’ (actually a chimaera or spookfish, but closely related to sharks and rays), found in the ocean depths off Australia and New Zealand. Looking suspiciously like Zero from The Nightmare Before Christmas, the ocean ghost

This is a video of a striated frogfish (which looks like a character from Adventure Time) displaying its lure, a sort of natural fishing pole that can be extended from its “nose” and wiggle a very convincing worm-like appendage in front of it’s mouth to attract prey. Evolution is nuts.

Just when you thought you were safe from spiders underwater, you were wrong. This is a video from The Smithsonian highlighting the appropriately named scuba spider, which has evolved to live its life entirely underwater. The spiders only venture to the surface to collect air bubbles, which they collect around

Even though rich people’s exotic cars are at the very bottom of my list of things to to worry about during natural disasters, these are several photos and videos from Naples, Florida of a $2.3-million McLaren P1 that, along with its garage neighbor Rolls-Royce Phantom, succumbed to storm surges caused

This is a video highlighting the life of Janus, the world’s oldest two-headed tortoise, who just celebrated 25 years on the planet. Janus is actually almost two whole tortoises in one, with all internal organs duplicated except the small and large intestines, bladder, and kidney. Damn, happy 25th birthday! Of

It’s not actually snow though, it’s delicious, nutritious
